vIt consists in the construction and novel arrangement of a` shelf designed to be attached to the stove' pipe by an adj ustablecollar,andbraced in 'such a manlier that it will support articles of considerable weight.

The collarBmay'be arranged to support a similar shelf in the rear of the stove-pipe.

`My shelf is strong and substantial, and' will -sup- 'port considerable weight, on account of the brace underneath. The collar may be adjusted to a stovel ,pipe of anysize. v
